Assess
Map student needs, existing programs, referral patterns, capacity, and service gaps.
Align
Create shared priorities, partner roles, communication practices, and responsible pathways.
Implement
Put practical referral, training, engagement, and coordination workflows into operation.
Measure
Review access, implementation, experience, and outcomes to guide continuous improvement.
Designed to strengthen—not replace
MSSN does not replace school teams, clinical providers, government agencies, or community organizations. It establishes a shared structure that makes existing services easier to navigate and more effective together.
Flexible at every scale
The framework can support a single-school pilot, a cluster of schools, a local education agency, a regional initiative, or a statewide partnership. Each implementation is shaped by local needs, partner capacity, and clearly defined goals.
